Although stock market analysts are not infallible, many investors rely on their ratings and price targets when making decisions about stocks to purchase.

Senior management at Pioneer Natural Resources will likely be out of a job once the company's $60 billion sale to Exxon Mobil is completed, but the top brass will walk away with bumper payouts which were sweetened further earlier this year. The top five executives at the U.S. shale operator are set to share $71 million in severance payouts, with Chief Executive Scott Sheffield on track to receive around $29 million, a review of regulatory filings and Reuters calculations show. The award to Sheffield, who helped found the shale producer over two decades ago and was slated to retire at the end of 2023, represents a sum worth three times his base salary as well as all his pending equity awards for performance.  ( 33 min )

Microsoft said on Wednesday the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in September notified the company that it is seeking an additional tax payment of $28.9 billion, plus penalties and interest for tax years from 2004 to 2013.

Donald Trump obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in loans using financial statements that a court has since deemed fraudulent, a retired bank official testified Wednesday at the former president’s New York civil fraud trial.

A judge last month ruled that Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, committed years of fraud by exaggerating the value of Trump’s assets and net worth on the financial statements he gave to banks, insurers and others to make deals and secure loans.  ( 33 min )
